Hurdles Faced by N Level English Students
Heavier academic workload
N Level English students will no doubt experience a heavy academic workload especially since their National Examinations are coming up soon. Students may feel stressed and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content and seemingly too little time to study. As such, they need to plan their time wisely to cover all the content before undertaking their exams.
Struggles with Oral Examinations
Some students may be too shy to confidently and concisely voice their thoughts during their oral examinations. Oral exams involve a great deal of thinking on the spot about the topic which the student has been given, and students need to have a good knowledge of the content which could possibly be tested and the speaking skills to deliver.
Struggling to write concisely
Another issue students face preparing for N Level English is the inability to write concisely. It is difficult for students to avoid rambling, especially when they are under exam pressure and want to write as much as possible to demonstrate their knowledge of the subject. At times, rambling may be detrimental to the student as it shows poor organisational skills.
Higher commitments to CCA and other activities
Students undertaking their N Level examinations could also have more intense commitments both academically and outside the classroom. As such, it is often difficult to allocate time to study for all the student’s subjects at once, and students may feel more burdened by their commitments. It is important to allocate time for all the student’s activities, especially during their N Level Examination year.
Reasons why you need an N Level English Tutor
Helping students plan their time wisely
A tutor could help students with time management by prioritising the topics a student should tackle first. After reviewing the student’s work, the tutor should find out where the student is lacking and make sure the student works on their weakest areas first. Moreover, a scheduled session could be helpful for the student to block out time to study English, instead of having the student plan their time themselves.
Motivating students to study for their N Level exams
At times, students may be discouraged due to the high workload of subjects they need to cope with for N Levels. Additionally, a competitive academic environment and pressure from teachers, parents, and peers may dampen their spirits. A tutor could provide the student with the hope that they can achieve their goals for N Level English if they tried their best. As an adult, the tutor would undoubtedly be better adjusted and could offer the student advice on how to cope with secondary school.
Mastering grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure
English vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure are important parts of mastering the language which every good English student must know. A tutor can drill the student on such basic skills to prepare for their examinations and prescribe them exercises to improve. It is important that students know these skills like the back of their hand so they can move on to studying more complex things.
Preparing students for oral exams
A tutor could prepare their students for oral exams, as it is important that students have the requisite content to undertake their oral exams and speak confidently. Students need to be able to speak at their oral exam without the guidance of their tutor and respond to the topic they are given on that day, which requires the ability to think on their feet.
Good Qualities of an N Level English Tutor
Possesses the requisite qualifications
Furthermore, it is important that a tutor has good qualifications such that the parent and student can be assured that they are best equipped to guide their children. Good qualifications along with the correct attitude ensure that a tutor will be the best role model to guide your child through their English learning journey. All the tutors at Tutor City are qualified to teach your child the requisite skills and techniques required to pass their English examinations with flying colours.
Patience and understanding
At times, students may not always understand what is being taught or have trouble applying the concepts. A good tutor must be patient enough to give the student space to fall yet maintain the academic rigour necessary for the student to improve themselves. Students may feel discouraged if they do badly on their examinations, and it is important for an adult figure to guide them and motivate them throughout their English journey.
Having a discerning eye
A tutor needs a discerning eye to spot the mistakes which a student makes when they practice doing exercises for English. A tutor needs to know where to focus the student first, especially if their exams are approaching soon. It is important that the tutor can observe the weaknesses and strengths of the student and tailor their approach accordingly, as students should improve their weaknesses first before working on how to bolster their strengths.
Dedication
It is important that a tutor commits to the timeslot that he/she has selected to teach. Tutors must be reliable and consistent as learning a language is a time-consuming effort that takes place over weeks and months, and it cannot be crammed into a night. As such, tutors must be diligent and disciplined to ensure that they show up for classes that they have agreed to teach.
